Sometimes I don't know how we got from this...
in terms of deciding to make this change. It slowly snowballed. First, it was just changing the range hood to something with a better fan speed. Then if we were doing that, we needed to do something with the backsplash because of the different style of hood. Then we looked at stuff we just wanted to change. Our blinds were over 20 years old so that was time for an update. And there was the counter. We hated how dark it was even though the one it replaced was a dark green. Something about the dark counter and floor didn't do it for us (the lino we replaced was lighter). I was doing my dream bathroom and the quartz counter wasn't as expensive as expected so why not do the kitchen...welp 4 times the area in the kitchen would be a good reason. But we already have solar panels so here we are.
And we love it. I, of course, started watching kitchen reno videos after everything was done, and don't think we would have done anything differently. It feels like our kitchen is bigger again. I know the colour this year (and last) is green but we really like the blue veining in the quartz. The range hood is out of head knocker range although we have to get used to not opening the cupboards quite so much. We might have gone with a stacked 4-inch tile for the backsplash but I like the offset large tile. It has some different colours and textures that aren't obvious. The big win that isn't visible is the deep double sink.
And everyone was great!
Now for the bathroom - demolition starts Monday!
